3.4.4 Access Using Zeroconf/Bonjour

Zeroconf (short for

Zero Configuration Networking

) describes the networking

method of automatically establishing an IP-based network without the help of serv-

ers and without changing any settings. Zeroconf-capable devices automatically

announce their name and the service they are providing (printer, email server, etc.)

in the network. As a basic technology, Zeroconf is part of the current Windows,

Linux and Mac OSX operating systems.

Bonjour is the implementation of this service in Apple Mac

OSX from version 10.4; in Mac OSX 10.2 and 10.3, this serv-

ice is called Rendezvous.

Bonjour is available free of charge for Windows computers

from the Apple web site www.apple.com/bonjour. For

Linux and UNIX, Avahi provides the corresponding func-

tionality. For further information on Bonjour and Zeroconf,

please consult www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour and the Zero-

conf web site www.zeroconf.org.

From software version 3.0.3.37, MOBOTIX cameras automatically offer their web

service via Zeroconf/Bonjour. This means that the cameras will announce them-

selves automatically in a Bonjour list in the web browser and in MxControlCenter.

Selecting a MOBOTIX camera in the browser will display the camera's user inter-

face in the browser window; likewise, MxControlCenter will be able to find the

camera.

D22M Camera Manual Part 1

Automatic network con-

figuration for MOBOTIX

cameras using Zeroconf/

Bonjour

MOBOTIX cameras sup-

port Bonjour by default

from software version

3.0.3.37!

Note

A major advantage of Zeroconf/Bonjour is that you do not need to

know the IP address or the name of the MOBOTIX camera in order

to access it.

Another advantage of Bonjour is that all cameras will be found

regardless if they are in the same subnet or in other subnets {as

long as they are in the same physical network as the computer).

Apple Bonjour

Caution

When using the camera in a network with managed switches or inter-

nal filewalls, make sure that port 5353 is not blocked or else Zero-

conf/Bonjour will not work.
